Approval Workflow

I am implementing a document approval workflow and the out of the box solution gets me about 90% there. There are a couple of issues I would like to address and I am hioping that someone can help me.

1)I would like the first step to be a peer review, and any one of six people could sign off on this. I tried using a DL but that is not allowed. any ideas how this could be done. 2) I would like to do a combination of serial and parallel review. First it must be approved by a peer, then executives would be jointly notified. I donât want to request exec approval until it has passed peer review, but at that point it does not matter what order it is approved

Is there a way to accomplish this without getting to deep into the code. I am somewhat compitent with designer and have VS but I would prefer not to have to dig into the code to accomplish this unless I have to.

I have looke for the approval workflow I have created with designer but can't seem to find it.

There aren't templates for Designer workflows. Designer based workflows are specific to a given list and library and are created using the workflowWizard. You need to add the actions and conditions as needed to accomplishwhat you want the workflow to do. There is a good tutorial on the Designer Site for building a review workflow that will give you a good idea of what some of the actions and procedures can do. But you will have to plan it out and build it yourself.
